Let me start this review by saying that this one is just a preview for the entire comic book. And I read it because I wanted to see if the full comic book was worth the money and time I would spend on it. And I’m gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.
This preview is a very good teaser that easily captures the menace and mystique of Outland’s dragon factions, which I liked a lot.
At the same time this preview sets the table with sharp stakes, clear hooks, and evocative imagery. Which very easily had caught my interested and made me hyped about reading the full version of this comic book.
This preview leans heavily on the Outland’s otherworldly ruin and sky-splitting vistas, giving the setting a distinct identity without dense exposition. Which have caught my attention from the start and made me like this preview more and more the more I got into this preview.
This preview gives us a clear and fast political and existential tensions around dragonkind in a very limited time period which is this preview. At the same time this preview hints at factional intrigue and moral gray zones. Which easily made me give this preview some extra points for doing.
The scenes which this preview has snap from ominous setup to looming conflict which ending on a huge cliffhanger which made me want to jump right into the full version of this comic book.
At the same time you don’t have to be a long time fan sir reader of the World of Warcraft comic book to enjoy this preview. I myself am pretty new to this comic book series and I still liked this preview a lot because it made me want to continue reading this series.
The atmosphere of this preview is very good because it has very harsh horizons, shattered terrain, and sweeping silhouettes nail Outland’s alien grandeur.
The dragon illustrations of this preview feel very weighty and ancient, with readable silhouettes and a good sense of scale. Which easily is the main reason why I liked this preview so much as I did.
So will buy and read the full version of this comic book ? Yes I will. It might take some time for me to actually read the full version of this comic book because I have been way too optimistic when creating my TBR list for this year and I don’t know if I get the time to read the full version of this comic book this year. But I will read the full version of this comic book at some point in time.
I Give This Book 4 / 5
